Into the Lexicon: Hit Point Inflation

Hit Point Inflation: n. A rise in the total amount of life increments allotted to heroes and monsters, from one game to another in a series, that serves no in-game purpose because the extra granularity is not used.

"Why is hit point inflation such a good marketing tool?" "Because when the numbers go up, it means you are having more fun."
